MATLAB can't find Picoscope 2000 series

Hello,

I hope you are having a wonderful today. Although my picoscope series 2000 works perfectly in its own GUI application on my windows computer, I am having trouble incorporating it into MATLAB.

Currently, I am getting the following error:
Matlab gives me the following error:

Error using icdevice/connect.
An error occurred while executing the driver connect code.
No oscilloscope found.

Error in PS2000_ID_Block_SimpleTrig_example (line 55)
connect(ps2000DeviceObj);

I have the two picoscope 2000 add ons installed, but the simple trig example code can't find the device. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Kat

Hi Kat

Which scope model in the 2000 series are you using?
Also when you're running the MATLAB examples is there any Pico software running?

Yours,
Neil

Hello! Thank you for the reply. I am using the GUI while trying to run the picoscope in MATLAB. Should I not use them simultaneously? Additionally, I have PQ012 PicoScope 2206B 2 channel 50MHz

Update! Whether I have the picoscope software on or off, no oscilloscope can be found. But it is found in the GUI. Thank you! Kat

Hi

The 2206B uses the ps2000a driver and needs to use the matching examples from the PicoScope 2000 Series (A API) - MATLAB Generic Instrument Driver addon.
